Hey there!

My name is Ryan Tabora. I'm a zombie loving head banging code monkey. I have a strong passion for everything technology, be it learning about nano-circuitry, spectating the ongoing patent wars in Silicon Valley, or cramming my nose in a book to teach myself a new language.

As of July 2011, I have moved from Milwaukee to the Bay Area to start my career at Accenture. I work in a research and development group called the Technology Labs, and my current project has me working with the highly scalable NoSQL technology, Hadoop. So far, I have found it to be an extremely exciting field of research.

Whenever I find time (haha ...) I'll be using this website to improve my web development skills, perhaps to post some random images of Arnie, or link you to the most brutal audio I've been listening to.

Thank you for stopping by.

This will eventually be the home of some of my side projects. For now, it is pretty empty. So sad.
